1.6x is not "almost twice" and that's comparing the larger storage X to the base S8.

- micv 9y agoIt's not really a like for like comparison. The S8 has been out for a while and has had its price cut down as a result. You always get better value for money if you stay slightly behind the curve and don't buy the fanciest, newest thing going. The iPhone X price is still ridiculous, don't get me wrong, but Samsung phones are pretty damned expensive on launch, too.
- dragonwriter 9y agoAlso, the S8 is the smallest (even though it's got the same size screen as the iPhone X) and cheapest of the 8-series flagships from Samsung (the other two being the S8+ and Note 8). The Note 8 launch price was pretty close to the iPhone X.
- pwinnski 9y agoIn the US, that's $999 for iPhone X 64GB[0], or $724.99 for Samsung S8 64GB. So just under 1.4x.

- FPGAhacker 9y agoS8 was 690 GBP at launch. You still have a fair point though as 8 months after launch (July 2018), I'm sure the X will still be 897.
